VINYL GRAPHICS
Vinyl graphics are an adhesive backed material that can be applied to just about any material. These materials include aluminum, glass, brick, plastic, fiberglass, and banners. There are different types of graphic material with special properties to assure the desired look and longevity. Vinyl is a great way to brand your company or idea! They say that vinyl wrapped vehicles have the ability to get upwards to 30,000 impressions a DAY. Not only is vinyl great for vehicles but it is also one of the most common ways to decorate your windows and storefront. Opake Screen Printing has the ability to print directly on to the vinyl material creating endless options to get creative.
VINYL CAR DECALS AND WRAPS
Vinyl decals have many purposes. One popular use of this media is to promote local business. People do this by creating vinyl decals of their logos. We have the ability to do full printed graphics/ wraps. This method is great for logos with multiple colors, gradients, and different textures within the design. Opake also uses a cast vinyl material with a different array of color selection for simple text and silhouette designs. We only use top of the line material that has great adhesion and is backed with warranty. There are special precautions that need to be taken before install to ensure a long lasting end product. The first thing we do is wash the surface area with a soap that won’t leave wax or scum. Next we use isopropyl to get off the heavy grime; this eliminates contamination that may cause bubbles or impurity to the decal. Lastly we use heat to post cure the application.
VINYL WALL DECALS & WALL WRAPS
Manufacturers make vinyl with different ingredients. The two different types of vinyl used in the signage industry are cast and calendar. Cast conforms to curves and can be stretched. Calendar vinyl is great for flat surfaces like walls! At Opake screen printing we have the ability to print directly onto the material and laminate it for extra strength and protection. No matter how big the surface area may be, we can panel the vinyl, breaking the design up into sections that can overlap and align. This process is perfect for large wall wraps.
VINYL STICKERS AND DECALS
Stickers are a great cost effective route to help promote and brand an idea or business. We offer a few different custom sticker options to help stick an impression! One option is a print and cut sticker. Print and cut is perfect for those high color designs. In our graphic design software, We can go in and add a contour cut line that fits well with your design. With the print and cut sticker we can add a matte or gloss lamination to help protect from the UV rays also adding a cool look to the finished product! The other sticker option we offer is dye cuts. This process is where we take a solid vinyl material and cut it using our vinyl plotter. With Dye cut stickers we can use an assortment of different color material making it easy to achieve some really attractive looks. We aren’t just limited to dye cut stickers and print/ cut, we can also make sheet stickers. Sheet stickers are a cost effective way for making labels. With this method, we can print and cut sheets of vinyl which is easy for peeling and installing on bottles or containers. These stickers have the option to be laminated for extra protection.
STOREFRONT VINYL & SIGNS
Whether you’re looking for perforated window film, decals for your glass windows, or backlit sign, we have you covered! With perforated window film we can use our large format printer to decorate the substrate in endless possibilities. This material is commonly used for store fronts getting built out or remodeled. Perforated can be seen through from the inside of the building allowing light to still come through. Now only can you see through it from the inside, the outside will be decorated for all your future customers to see special information. Glass windows and doors are a perfect substrate for vinyl. Decals are commonly used to inform customers of store hours, social media, contact information and more! Whether you want solid simple colors, reflective decals, or full popping colors, Opake screen printing can do it. Backlit signs are another common use of vinyl. We carry special translucent material that can be directly printed on. This material is great for getting vibrant colors but also allowing the light in the sign to pop through. Aside from translucent calendar vinyl, We can use cut vinyl to apply to the polycarbonate. Adding cut vinyl on polycarbonate is perfect for using specialty material. From reflective to metallic brite shimmering colors, There’s something for everyone.
